Some may be annoyed with this marketing tactic, but I find it refreshing. It’s always intimidating to meet people in large groups. This way you get to make the more personal connection. Like on The Bachelor.

We’ve already gotten to know Dori, Nori, Ori. Then Oin and Gloin. Followed by Kili and Fili. And then, fat one and miner guys. Would Dwarves #11 and #12 please step forward:

Check it out. It’s Balin and his bro Dwalin. Though Dwalin isn’t rocking his blue beard, he’s still looking pretty bad ass. I wouldn’t step to him.

So, this leaves us with only Thorin to go. Then we can get started on the Elves…. (Time)

Despite MGM‘s recent money troubles, Jackson isn’t filming some kind of barebones, “experimental,” sweded version. Rather, this is just a nice press conference photo before they spend every day of next year wearing heavy robes, caked in pounds of make-up, sweat and their own tears.

Here we see Martin Freeman (BBC’s The Office) who’ll play “Bilbo Baggins,” one of the funniest character names ever. Unfortunately, a lot of the big names are missing from this photo, like Ian McKellen or Cate Blanchett, but we do see a lot of the guys playing his back-up dwarves, like Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield, Mark Hadlow as Dori, and Ken Stott as Dwarf Lord Balin. Boy, you know that dwarf is straight Balin, amiright?

The Hobbit journeys epically to theaters December 2012 & 2013. (FirstShowing)
